Guidelines for a Successful Post!

[Deve]

1. This is a very unique venue in that we are not a social site, we are an information site. We encourage the quest for knowledge and try to stick to the point of the original poster. Our goal is to give the poster the most accurate information available anywhere. To do this, please be specific.

For example:

A) What vehicle year/make did you perform this particular action on?
B) What part numbers and vendor did you use?
C) How long did it take?
D) What special tools are required?

We appreciate all input that would help the original poster, but please do not answer questions unless you have done this procedure before or have knowledge of it and have helpful knowledge of the subject matter. This is not to discourage posting, it is to improve the quality of the counsel. If you answer and you aren't sure of the value, post anyway, but please do not be offended if the message gets deleted by the moderator. Here's why:

We are trying to compile these answers into a How-To style document so that many others can benefit from your question. The reason we do this, is because there are only so many systems on our trucks This means there are a limited number of questions that can be asked. If the same question is asked over and over again, it ties up the precious volunteer manpower available with the true expertise to get it right. We will succeed in creating a very impressive library of How-To information that will cover every possibility. This will be thanks to your questions and your answers. Working together is far better than working alone. We appreciate your understanding and are very happy to work with YOU.

2. We are trying out a whole new idea we named The Think Tank. Imagine a place where you stick all the professionals into a room, give them a set of Solution Criteria, and tell them they can't come out until they get it right! Well, we aren't dictators here, but you get the idea. This means the idea is not done until all of the solution criteria has been met. You will find a current idea that meet these requirements using the link below:

The Ultimate 3 Speed Floor Shifter

[harnish]

I have a 1954 chevy 3100 with standard 3 speed trans. I am interested in the 3 speed floor shift project. MY question is are there any members who have either built this shifter or purchased it through the Farm it out path. If purchased does it come assembled with all parts needed. Great website Thanks Harnish

[Deve]

Harnish, the shifter works perfect. I have two of them and they are solid and work great. The problem is, they are VERY difficult to make with just elementary shop tools so I do not sell them because of the time and effort it takes to make them. I do not know of anyone who has tried my instructions. I wish I did. I get so many requests for this and I just do not have the time to make them. If I did, the cost would be prohibitive since they are so time consuming to make. As far as I know, there is nobody anywhere who has made one to compete with my design. I wish someone did so I could refer you to them. To give you an idea, the cost would be about $800 if I did start making them. Its something a garage mechanic like us can do, but we have to be very patient and follow the instructions carefully. I suggest just doing it yourself. Very rewarding!

Thanks Dave ,I may give it a try but it looks challenging . I am considering Patricks Saginaw 4 Speed setup. I will definitely be building your PVC setup , makes sense. Thanks Harnish

PCV setup works great! I have the spinon oil filter also. Both look like a factory design.
